Overland Airways Reconnects Abuja-Jalingo



...... Introduces Lagos-Jalingo Flights









Overland Airways, Nigeria’s longest serving private domestic airline  has  announced  the resumption of flight services from Abuja to Jalingo and return. Overland Airways has also introduced Lagos to Jalingo flights through Abuja.

Overland Airways has been the pioneer airline on the route for years but flight services were temporarily suspended in November 2024 due to expansion work at the airport. 

The airline is now set to reconnect the two cities providing passengers with convenient and reliable travel options.

Effective April 3, 2025, Overland Airways will resume three  weekly flights on the Abuja-Jalingo-Abuja route. The flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays using Overland Airways’ brand-new Embraer 175 aircraft.

 Flights will depart Abuja to Jalingo at 10:00am and Jalingo to Abuja at 11:30am.

Passengers across Overland Airways network including Lagos, Akure, Ibadan, Minna and Ilorin, amongst others can connect to Jalingo through our hub in Abuja.

Capt. Edward Boyo, Chief Executive Officer and Accountable Executive of Overland Airways said : “We are excited to reintroduce our Abuja-Jalingo-Abuja services which will not only enhance connectivity but also boost economic activities in Taraba State in particular and the Northeastern region of Nigeria in general. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Governor of Taraba state, Dr. Agbu Kefas for his unwavering support and commitment to the development of the Danbaba Suntai Airport. We would like to also thank our customers for their patience and understanding and assure them of our usual excellent customer services.”

Jalingo has been a long existing route for Overland Airways, and for the very first time, Overland Airways will be operating our brand-new Embraer 175, a dual-class 88-seater modern jet aircraft featuring Premium class seats with spacious legroom and the regular Economy class on this route. We are keen on providing our Jalingo travellers with unparalleled convenience and comfort.

Overland Airways service offering has evolved from an all-turboprop fleet to a mixed fleet with the introduction of brand-new Embraer E175 jets. 

In October 2024, Overland Airways renewed its IOSA safety certification for the 5th consecutive time reaffirming its position as a safe and leading African carrier.

Overland Airways is an airline company registered to operate charter and scheduled passenger and cargo flights. 


The airline commenced operations in 2002 with the aim of increasing the prosperity of the Nigerian hinterland by facilitating the transportation of business men, investors, government officials and indigenes from one point to another and till date, is the pride of Nigeria in the airline industry.

Overland Airways is a member airline of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which is made up of 336 airlines. 


Overland Airways is also a member airline of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA), the umbrella association of airlines from African Union States.

Overland Airways achieved the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Registration in 2015, which has been consecutively renewed in 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2024. 

IOSA is a global benchmark for enhancing operational safety of airlines. The airline operates a fleet of modern equipment and facilities to provide high standard of service.

Overland Airways has a fleet of modern aircraft including the Embraer E-175 jets, ATR-42s, ATR-72s and Beechcraft 1900Ds.
